    Appraising in Takeo State ( portion 2 )

    I 'm back from the last stretch making study in Takeo state and the undertaking wrapped upward rather nicely! Since I 've already explicated what we were making below , I 'll only take this chance to share some photos after the leap.

    LOMAP2009

    Above: The concluding 2009 LOMAP field crew

    One of the most important parts of this task holds been speaking to people about the work we are making and explicating our research. This holds ( for obvious grounds ) mainly been treated the Khmer senior staff. Many of the villagers hold been verily funny about our work and we sometimes pull a crowd while we 're fixing to head out into the field. Local people are frequently a primal point of info as they can say you which mounds/ponds are new or old and if they 've happened clayware or other objects while working in the fields.

    At several spots we seed, people took out things they holded encountered while they were working in the fields. Sometimes people desire to sell these objects to us but we ever decline. Purchasing objects like this can merely promote plundering. If people are not interested in holding these objects so we advance them to donate them to their local Ministry of Civilisation office.

    Cow This is a broken ( Angkorian? ) period moo-cow statuette

    jewelrymold From the same settlement this is another maybe Angkorian period jewellery mold ( for gold jewellery )

    CeramicObject This was an unusual ( post-Angkorian? ) ceramic object. The man who bumped this happened another indistinguishable piece. He determined to donate it to the local Ministry of Civilisation office.

    kidspotteryfishing At this settlement there was an ancient pool that holded chiliads of pre-Angkorian clayware shards at the undersurface. People would bump them when they were swimming in the pool. These local tike were rattlingly excited we were so interested in them so they travelled `` sportfishing '' and forced out some interesting specimens for us.

    showingpotterysherds At this settlement, the local people were really interested in looking at the clayware shards we amassed away the surface of the hills.

    Above you see a trifle Neak Tantalum house which people in Kampuchea ( and across Sou'-east Asia ) conception for local liquors. This spirit house is really sitting on top of an ancient brick platform on a tall hill. It is possible that the brick platform was a sacred alter in the yesteryear and the people here still regard it a sacred site.

    Lastly I 'll wrap upwards with a duet mailing-card shootings of the Cambodian countryside after a storm with a beautiful rainbow.

    Cocoa ( 2007 ) & Malayalam caption playfulness

    Dosto, with the aid of my seasoned VCR, I traveled downwardly south to the tip of mother Bharat to watch a Malayalam flick entitled Chocolate ( 2007 ). I love the description here, which must hold come from some reappraisal: roma_prithvi_nep

    Cocoa is aMalayalam pic relinquished in 2007, directed by Shafi. This is acampus storyentertainer. Briny players arePrithviraj, Jayasurya, Gypsy, Samvrutha Sunil, andRemya Nabeeshan. Music byAlex Paul and lyrics byVayalar Sarath Chandra Varma and SingersareM.G. Sreekumar andRimiTomy.With Prithviraj playing the Casanova, manager Shafi 's new offer Cocoa with its sweet smell scent is so delightful. Easy on the eyes, smitten the ears, this pure comedy entertainer, which centers on a gallivanting gadabout, being the solitary male in an all women 's college, is choke-full with mirthfulness as Prithiviraj dramas booster Shyam to thehilt.Playing perfect foil to him are Roma, Samvritha Sunil and Remya Nabeeshan as Ann, Nandana and Susanna - the tierce who are against a male entering into their land. Debutants Sachi and Sethu 's screenplay lights with laugh-a-minute scenes. source

    You get the thought now of the impulsive game: solitary male pupil at an all women 's college. Wacky! Likewise HOT! Now I cognize some people presume that south Indian pic are a tad spot violent and peradventure misogynous. I consider that Holds a stereotype about Mollywood , right?

    cholate.well

    cholate.beat Damn!

    cholate.chocolate.slap

    cholate.chocolate.slap2

    cholate.chocolate.slap3

    Likewise, naturally all the manpowers holded mustaches since this was aSouthiefilm. Now that I believe of it, I make n't remember ever seeing a man without the mustache in the picture. Now to the caption playfulness. There were quite few times that I saw some great derisory subtitles. Here are a couple of from one on the dance numbers

    cholate.chocolatesong

    cholate.chocolatesong2

    Other times I saw subtitles that on the surface doed no sense, but somehow, I really understood what they were attempting to state, since I now understand that I sleep in Kochi in a old life. Like these... absolutely reasonable to me:

    cholate.laughcholate.roma.wavelength

    As in many movies, in Cocoa there are very much of misconceive stacked upon misinterpret which drive the game.

    cholate.paper

    Now have a look at this series seing the `` improper behaviour '' intelligence that even doed the paper and I will render the renderings:

    cholate.telephonic

    The message abovemeans that since there was only info given over the telephone, it ca n't be affirmed as dependable...

    cholate.fresh

    Yes, this intends even in India there are haters, simply envious of unworried younker and their masti.

    cholate.room

    cholate.room.2

    This intends so what if a immature man and women were in a room together unchaperoned for a short clip, it makes n't intend they holded dealings of a sexual nature. If this was true, Prithviraj 's character is assay to tell that it would follow that 2 handses in a room together unchaperoned would so be guilty of homosexualism.

    I really wished Roma Asrani and Prithviraj , first clip seeing them both and they were lovely. Oklahoma, Prithviraj was HOT, but I make n't experience right telling that since he Holds so my junior, hai sodium? The supporting costars Samvrutha Sunil and Jayasurya likewise maked a nice business and I 'd care to see more of their work. Well LET 's see all four thespians in a vocal from the movie, shall we? This is n't a brassy vocal, but I maked like the simple terpsichore, since I believe I could easily join them if I were an standby suddenly named to action. `` Where Holds that gori? Roma interrupted her ankle! Bump the gori supernumerary, stat! We necessitate her to fill inward for the point figure now! '' I likewise considered that Briyanshu would savor the first 20 seconds of this scene and the vocal I shtamalle I shtamalle

    Lyrics in Malayalam , but I make n't cognize what they intend.

    Finally the picture holds a happy termination: the hero transporting forth his love involvement, in troglodyte mode: cholate.end

    and elating message of equality:

    cholate.trust

    Plus, I love seeing the word enemity utilise in subtitles:

    cholate.enemity

    If you 're interested in watching the flick, it holds been uploaded at Daily Gesture in several sections with English subtitles HERE

    Now, I enquire why the film was entitled Cocoa, and besides inquire what the term `` cocoa boy '' agencies in Bharat? I 've both heard and read `` cocoa boy '' and make n't cognise what it intends. Chocolate boy matlab? Is it like a metrosexual Could that hold something to so make with the pic 's rubric?

    July 9: Grassy Narrows Younker Leader Speaks Out

    Chrissy Boyfriend will talk and will be exhibiting a new docudrama
    Th, July 9
    Umi Caf at 6pm
    610 SomersetSt. Wolfram

    http://ipsmo.wordpress.com

    Chrissy Beau, a Grassy Narrows younker leader and mother will be verbalize about the on-going battles for healing and land protection at Grassy Narrows. Chrissy will too exhibit a new infotainment about the history of the struggle there.

    She is verbalise call at order to pull attending to links between environmental devastation and the devastation of communities, to open dialog about protecting and mending the Earth, besides as mending communities and the relationships between them.

    Since coming in Southern Ontario last hebdomad, Chrissy Boyfriend holds already seen the Anishnabe protestation bivouac at Shit Site 41 in Tiny Town, holded a presence at the rally in solidarity with Iroquois league against the formation of the Caledonia Reserves in Cayuga, participated in the Peace Train to Akwesasne, and uttered on phase before of over 1000 music fans at the Propaghandi concert on June 26 in Toronto.

    Last yr, Chrissy directed a grouping of 22 younker from Grassy Narrows ( and a couple of other First Nations communities ), on the Protecting Our Mother Walkover 1800 kilometer from Grassy Narrows to Torontowhich went a accelerator for the Assemblage of Mother Earth Protectors and Sovereignty Sleepover last May at Queens Parkland, where the message was:

    *Respect the right of First Nations to state no to economical development and environmental devastation, no criminalization of landprotectors.*

    This twelvemonth, Chrissy is planning another walking which is scheduled to leave from Grassy Narrows for Ottawa on Aug Twenty-fourth. This yr 's walking will convey together representatives from communities across the state to present a united message to Ottawa that the rights of First Nations must be honoured and land shielders must not be criminalised.

    Chrissy holds been an inbuilt leader in the Grassy Narrows opposition to log-in their dominion, in the authorisation of younker, and the traditional revitalization of Anishnabe civilisation that is pass off in their community.

    On Dec 2nd, 2002, the younker of the Grassy Narrows First Land founded a encirclement on a logging route in their dominion, and sparked what is now the longest standing and highest profile endemic logging encirclement in Canadian history. Grassy Narrows ( Asubpeeschoseewagong ) is a little Anishnabe community about 80 kms northwardly of Kenora in Northwest Ontario. *The Grassy Narrows community holds been through many traumas including resettlement, residential schools, Hg taint, swamp of sacred evidences and burying ground, and clearcut logging of their traditional district. Nevertheless, opposition is strong at Grassy Narrows where people are actively defying the kept devastation of their dominions, re-occupying their lands, resuscitating their civilisation and struggling for the right to negociate their land as they see fit.

    This circuit, for Chrissy is a religious journeying exalted by dreamings and recent incidents. Chrissy and Grassy Narrows organiser Judy Dasilva seed the site of the Mackintosh Residential School near Kenora. There, behind the old school site, alternatively of a remembrance, they chance several big hydro towers right at the site of the graves of those nestlings who choked at the school, disrespecting their memory. Following the visit, Chrissy holded dreamings saying her that this was to be a symbol of the connexion between the devastation of Autochthonal lands, and the devastation of their communities. She commenced planning a 2d Protecting Our Mother Earth Walking that holded been tentatively scheduled to leave Grassy Narrows on June 15.

    The recent and on-going tie at Akwesasne is a religious mark to her that the clip for the journeying is impending. The events of Friday June 12 (when the OPP brutally raided a solidarity blockade in Tyendinaga, and also escalated the police crackdown on protests by women from the Beausoleil First Nation who are camped at Dump Site 41) were a signal to Chrissy to forgo the walk across Northern Ontario so that she could be here now, talking to people in both settler and Indigenous communities, trying to build solidarity and support for communities engaged in land protection struggles, and to work towards healing.

    `` The regime makes not understand that words are not good plenty. Speaking greenish ' and doing empty apologies that make n't really treat with existent issues is not good plenty. We should *protect* the landprotect our Mother World. I desire to say Harpist that apologies are not good plenty. Canada takes to give proper regard to the victims, homes and subsisters of the residential schools. We take Canada to acknowledge the harm those schools hold maked to our communities and civilizations, and we require an terminal to the devastation of our lands, and an terminal to native people being criminalised when they stand upwardly for their rights to protect their lands, their civilizations, and their communities.
